TUESDAY: Garfield's Favourite Meal

Yup, thats right, tonights dinner was Lasange.




Sheets of lasange, layered with beef ragu and vegetables, topped of with a cheese (bechamel) sauce and accompanied by fresh salad.

A time consuming meal to make, but well worth the effort.

TUESDAY: Apologies

Sorry for the lack of updates of late. To celebrate our 3 year anniversary, Shaun & I popped up to Taupo for a lovely break, and then on our return spent a night with my family, who has just returned from 9 months in Europe. Between that and the fact that our computers been on the blink, I just haven't had the chance to post. But now i'm going to catch up with postings of some of the meals we ate during my time away from my precious computer!

First up, a lovely breakfast in Taupo at the Replete Food Company. I had the 'Complete Replete Breakfast' of Roasted Field Mushrooms, Poached Eggs, Grilled Foccacia, Honey Cured Bacon & Tomato Relish (pictured below) whilst my carnivourous (and mushroom-hating) fiancee indulged in the 'Big Breakfast' of Honey Cured Bacon, Sausages, Hash Browns, Poached Eggs, Grilled Foccacia & Tomato Relish.





The food was definately lovely, but the coffee was, in my humble opinion, terrible.....and the fact that the coffee didn't arrive until we had nearly finished our meal was what I would call downright bad service. Next time i'd just order a juice. (Oh and carnivourous male complained not enough bacon, but he loved their sausages!)

What is your favourite breakfast treat (mine? Eggs Bene with Spinach for sure)

TUESDAY: It Makes Me Human

Yes it is kind of embarrassing for a food blogger to admit that they had KFC for dinner last night. But I felt yucky, Tuesday night for me is renowned to be lack of cooking inspiration night, and to be honest, sometimes I really, really love good ol' Kentucky Fried.




My meal of choice, an Extreme Burger meal: Zinger Burger, Chips to dip in my Potato and Gravy, a piece of finger lickin good chicken and a pepsi!

While on the topic of KFC, being an international takeaway chain, you would think it would taste the same everywhere, Right? Well, wrong! When in Britain we had KFC and there were a few complaints: a, the chicken was lacking quite a few of the essential "11 secret herbs and spices" and b, there was no potato and gravy, instead it was baked beans. Who eats baked beans with KFC?

Back in the kitchen tonight, I promise.
